A number of National Park Service employees and partners were recognized at the Department of the Interior\u2019s 69th Honor Awards Convocation earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Ross demonstrated unusual courage in the face of danger, the criterion for the award, when he responded to a 2011 avalanche at Sylvan Pass that created a 30-foot high roadblock.<\/p>\n

Ross directed 25 vehicles with visitors out of the danger zone, searched for possible victims, coordinated the responding units and got the road closed, the Department of Interior said.<\/p>\n

“His situational awareness, experience and judgment prevented serious if not fatal, consequences as three other large avalanches occurred within 20 minutes,” a department statement said.<\/p>\n

Yellowstone spokesman Al Nash said earlier in the week that Ross, a Lake District ranger with close ties to the Cody community, would likely be honored later this year in a separate event, and would be made available then for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
